Peter Van Buskirk of “The Admission Game” to speak at R-MA
Local High School Students and Parents Invited to Attend
Interested in learning about the “game” of college applications and admissions? Join Randolph-Macon Academy in Boggs Chapel on Friday, February 10, 2017 at 1:30pm for “The Admission Game®” presented by Peter Van Buskirk, a nationally recognized author, speaker, and former Dean of Admission at Franklin & Marshall College.
In this two-hour session, Van Buskirk reveals what happens behind the scenes in the college admission process, providing attendees with a better understanding of what “Hidden Agenda” items can make or break an application. He also touches on the role of course selections, essay preparation, and standardized tests. Finally, the audience is presented with four fictitious candidates and they debate which one of them will get into the fictitious college.
This free presentation is open to all area high school students and their parents. For more information, contact R-MA College Counselor Mary Gamache at mgamache@rma.edu.
